1. An apparatus of a first access point (AP) of an AP multi-link device (MLD), the apparatus comprising memory; and processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry configured to:
encode a first portion of a first beacon frame or first response frame;
in response to a second AP of the AP MLD transmitting, on a second frequency band, a second beacon frame or a second probe response frame comprising a channel switch announcement element or an enhanced channel switch announcement frame,
encoding a second portion of the first beacon frame or the first probe response frame, the second portion comprising the channel switch announcement element or the enhanced channel switch announcement frame; and
configure the first AP of the AP MILD to transmit, on a first frequency band, the first beacon frame or the first response frame.
